David Haller is a troubled young man who was diagnosed with schizophrenia as a child. Shuffled from one psychiatric institution to the next, in his early 30s, David meets and falls in love with a beautiful and troubled fellow patient named Syd. After a startling encounter with her, he must confront the shocking possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees may actually be real. With the help of Syd and a team of specialists who also possess unique and extraordinary gifts -- Ptonomy Wallace, Kerry Loudermilk and Cary Loudermilk -- David unlocks a deeply suppressed truth: he has been haunted his entire life by a malicious parasite of unimaginable power.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Legion returns with a smart, strange second season that settles into a straighter narrative without sacrificing its unique sensibilities.

I think it's a doozy. It certainly looked very nice, and the performances were all terrific. As for what actually happened in it? That's less clear. Go to Full Review

Legion is probably too enamored of its weirdness to tell as rich and emotionally complicated of a story as it wants to. Go to Full Review
David Fear Rolling Stone 05/10/2018
There's no other series that feels like it's consistently smashing traditional templates. This is how you bend hour-long narratives into gnostic, ridiculously insular knots. Go to Full Review

It is great news for fans of superhero and fantasy stories in general that there is entertainment as rare as 'Legion' out there. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

3.5/4
Yet Legion shows true growth for the series, providing audiences with an even more uncanny look at the X-Men. Go to Full Review

Either way, David going full tilt is an interesting place for the show (however unconvincingly it got there), because it opens up the narrative scope for season 3. Go to Full Review

prawnda S @RT72497680 Apr 9 i keep trying to give this show a chance, but it's just slow pretentious nonsense masquerading as some kind of mental health oriented psychedelia. it's not relatable or helpful to mentally ill people, and likely gives ableists a lot of angles to stigmatize perfectly reasonable people with health problems. See more Marco L @decatur555 Mar 8 Legion is one of the boldest and strangest superhero series in recent years, but it demands your full attention. If you are not completely inside its rhythm, it can quickly become chaotic and hard to follow. That is also what makes it so distinctive: the storytelling is deeply tied to the fractured mind of its protagonist, so the confusion becomes part of the experience. Visually it is stunning, full of daring choices, surreal imagery, and an identity that feels nothing like the usual Marvel formula. Beneath all the style, there is also a dark story about identity, trauma, power, and perception. It can sometimes become too abstract or deliberately difficult, but when it works, it is hypnotic, unsettling, and genuinely memorable. See more Jackson M. @Nshvlleindie Jan 12 S2 gets a bit darker, a bit sadder, but does remain a suspenseful and weirdly enjoyable ride. The introduction of the Shadow King is one of the more exciting characters you’ll meet in a long time! See more David S @RT87431440 Oct 25 This season was hot garbage. Season 1 was pretty good, setting up an interesting story and some compelling characters. In season 2, most of those characters started taking actions completely inconsistent with season 1, derailing the storyline and potentially ruining a promising series. I would not watch the show after season one, if you haven't already. See more David J @davejohansen Oct 13 Can't believe it's true, but even better than the first season! Such a great collection of characters and an interesting story that's challenging and fun to watch all at the same time. See more Sarah F @RT58277175 Jul 9 I really wanted to like it so badly. Season 1 was great. Season 2 and 3 were a letdown. There was a lot of flip flopping on every characters personality, goal, desire. The writing was very repetitive and still somehow confusing on which direction they were trying to take the plot. I’d say after season 2, episode 1, things really started rolling downhill. I am astonished at how highly rated the final 2 seasons are. See more Read all reviews
